pintle extension is mostly for if you have a shelter that overhangs the rear of the truck, or some of the GMVs needed them because of the rear platform. Or, as mentioned above, the tire carrier installed. For a standard truck with the standard airlift bumper and no tire carrier, no extensions...

in the Army out in the field I'd toss food packages into the outlet hose where it goes into the tent. An hour or so later I'd have hot food. The look on the new Battalion XO's face when I'm offering him hot bratwurst (Johnsonville pre cooked) was priceless. We'd also put water cans a couple...

So in your 5th picture there is the 200 amp umbilical plugs behind the battery box. Between that plate in the rear footwell, and the battery box, that is where a circuit breaker goes in the 4 speed trucks. It's not in any of your pictures because in your case you may need to remove the plate in...

Looking through the interwebs, both are designed for the S280 shelter. Only real difference is the 720 has a max gross of 6k (or 8k for the M720HD version) and the M832 has a max of 20k lbs. http://www.wenzlau.com/m720.html http://www.wenzlau.com/m832.html

I looked at the ebay link. I'm sure the price they are asking seems reasonable with the price of hard doors, but for comparison sake when I bought my BEOD it came with those doors and the camouflage storage rack on top of the cab (that also sells by itself in the $1000 price range) A local...

there is a switch down at the pedal area that is notoriously out of adjustment. When testing at a stop you tend to use a lot of pressure, but often when running/driving it doesn't take as much pressure, so you aren't actually activating the brake light switch. There is a way to adjust the switch...

steering gear seems relatively tight. Now with everything tightened down and the tie rods, pitman arm, and idler arm all new, I have maybe 1/2-1" of movement in the steering wheel with the truck off before the wheels start moving. I drove it last night and steering is much more responsive than...

those are the doors that go with the BEOD (Body, Explosive Ordnance Disposal) The lip on top is to mate up with the front roll down doors on the BEOD Considering the BEOD does carry explosives in it, it's designed to lock, so some reinforcement would be expected. Doesn't look like it had a...

The transmission operates on 12V. Without a 12V source your rear battery will not recharge properly as the transmission pulls power from it, and the front battery will overcharge. This has the potential for catastrophic failure if it goes on too long. I suppose you could do some type of 24-12V...

Only small ones. Some cracks on the side of my hood are testament to the fact that larger trees don't appreciate you trying to run them over in such a small vehicle.

As long as the jeeps aren't folding in the mirrors you'll probably fit. I know first thing I do on the jeep trails is fold my mirrors forward all the way to keep them from getting hit.

You will want to learn how to do "BTM" or Brake Throttle Modulation. Basically, you apply the brakes a little bit and hold them with your left foot, then use your right foot on the accelerator pedal until the engine overpowers the brakes. What the partial brake application does is causes the...

Not so much replace, but go under the truck and check all the halfshaft bolts for tightness. They are notorious for loosening or not being tight enough, and as they back out eventually they will shear, leaving you in 3 wheel drive until they are replaced (only moves in HL or L at that point)...

the castle nut is on the other end. The steering output shaft just uses a washer and regular not, not a castle nut.

agreed. I have a serious dislike of towing any bumper pull that weighs more than the tow vehicle. gooseneck/5th wheel weight isn't anywhere near as big of a factor.

no, you leave everything hooked up and just plug it in. Several people have contacted noco and the response is that it is 100% safe to have them hooked up to different batteries wired in series. It's what I have in my truck and haven't had any issues.

I think it depends on how you mount it. One bolt in each corner might not be strong enough overall and eventually rip out Making sure all the bolts go through reinforced areas, or adding reinforcement plates underneath I don't think you'll have issues.

For occasional charging it should be fine through the slave port. If you are plugging it in regularly then I'd recommend something like the NO.CO gen 5x2 that is a 2 bank 12V charger that hardwires to the batteries. Mount it in the open area next to the battery compartment and then run the plug...

If a CUCV was pulling one, then either it was heavily modified, or an idiot. I have an M720 over in my back field I bought from one of the other guys around here. It's certainly heavy enough on it's own. I helped recover a shelter with another one, and it took 3-4 people to maneuver each...

So now it's getting frustrating. Installed the new Moog problem solver pitman arm. It doesn't go on very far. With the nut torqued down to 186 ft lbs, and no lock washer installed, the nut is on the shaft with only a couple threads past it. In other words about 1/4" or so further down than the...
